Gift cards

Please choose your gift and amount from the options below:

Organic Farming

This year a new phase of the project got under way with the aim of enrolling 200 dalit families each year as members of the organic farming societies, bringing the total membership to over 2,500 families.
• Option one: £22 will provide five families with the support, seeds and training they need to start farming organically.

Girls' Education

Women hold up half the world...and girls’ education continues to be a priority for AVI’s partner NBJK. This year AVI contributed to the education of 200 girls in Jharkhand and Bihar, two of India’s poorest states, giving them options other than manual labour and raising a family.

• Option two: £28 pays the fees and buys books and uniforms so that one girl can attend secondary school for a year.

• Option three: £5 covers the text and exercise books that a girl needs for one year.
A vote for goats

Goats are the most traditional of virtual gifts but make no mistake they work for families who have next to nothing; producing milk, fertilizer from their droppings and kids for market sales. CRUSADE targets very poor families in 160 villages in Tamil Nadu for material help such as house repairs, tools, health care and goats.

• Option four: £25 buys a locally reared, immunised goat.

• Option five: £60 pays for rethatching the roof of a traditional village hut.
